Spiritual Mothers

﻿The series of paintings “Spiritual Mothers,” are portraits of women in different stages of life.These works are based on two sets of people: one group is women that I know well, ranging from dear friends, to my 12 year old daughter, to my 83 year old mother. The other group of women I am painting is those who are important to me because they are figures that I admire, that have inspired me or captured my imagination, such as the poet Patti Smith, the artist Yayoi Kusama or the saint Joan of Arc.
